Without losing its speed or agility, this convenient “hop-on-hop-off” frame design is perfect for dresses and skirts.
The FSS 500 is every commuter’s new best friend, but do not let its sporty look distract from its many safety and rideability features:
- Shimano Claris 8-speed gears
- Hydraulic Disc brakes
- Spanninga Pimento safety light
- CST Otis puncture resistant tyres
With the FSS 500, you no longer have to choose between a reliable commuter and a bike you’re excited to ride every morning.
Turn your daily ride into the best part of your day. The City Commute line is all about practicality. These even more affordable bikes have the modern commuter in mind. This line cuts off any excess while still managing to feature everything safe cycling requires.
faster reactions and precise steering
Stiffer frames and a sportier cycling position for faster reactions and agile manoeuvrability.
The bike’s build is stiffer to allow faster reaction times and more precise steering. The saddle is adjusted to fit a sportier cycling position and the handlebars are profiled to aid the same active posture.

I recently took my dated and tired old racing bike along to Leeli Cycles for some much needed work. I was cheerfully greeted by Ben the very friendly owner and number one mechanic. He suggested a full service and looked over the bike to access the condition of the other cycle components. A very comprehensive quote was later emailed to me listing all the parts that Ben would require to complete the job. He phoned me as soon as my bike was ready and I hurried along to pick it up. My first reaction was, wow! It looked as good as new and fully roadworthy again. Ben had done an incredible job in transforming my old racer back to its former glory! I'm very pleased to have used Leeli Cycles along with Ben's wealth of mechanical knowledge, sound advice and attention to detail. Even happier still to support this amazing small local business offering great value and excellent customer service. An outstanding shop in every way for all your cycling needs with the personal touch. Pop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
